How to distinguish lobular rosewood bonsai from black bone tea bonsai

1. Identification method of Pterocarya microphylla:

First, draw on white paper with sawdust. If it is sandalwood rosewood, it has purple scratches.

Secondly. If it is sandalwood, it is purplish red (the depth of color is closely related to the position of the material, the amount of water and the length of soaking time).

Third, look at growth ring. Observe the annual rings on the cross section. If it is sandalwood rosewood, the annual rings are not obvious.

2. Identification method of black bone tea:

The branches of black bone tea are rough, most of them have vertical stripes and the epidermis is black. The wood of branchlets less than one centimeter has not turned black, and most of them are white and green. Black bone tea leaves are very small and can give off fragrance.
